Still, it sounds like Amir will still be the one getting the last laugh after it was reported that he is earning up to 10 times more than his fellow jungle contestants.

According to The Sun, the 30-year-old father-of-one, whose wife Faryal Makhdoom is currently pregnant with their second child, will be pocketing a staggering £250,000 for his stint on this year’s series of the show.

A source told the publication: “There’s a very wide range of payments on the show, and every year some of the top names bag themselves around £250,000.

“This year Amir and Stanley [Johnson] are probably the biggest names, along with Jennie [McAlpine] off Coronation Street.”

Meanwhile, YouTuber Jack Maynard is expected to make substantially less than that, with the insider adding: “The least known stars tend to get somewhere around the £25,000 mark.”
